This is a very interesting report from the European Transport Safety Council on e-scooters and proposed safety recommendations. European harmonisation of these sensible proposals could only be a good thing. @Nlavelle2001 #escooters#RoadSafety

The below Fact Sheet on reported e-scooter casualties is concerning. With increased use of e-scooters and lack of regulation the number of casualties increased significantly from 20-21. Lessons need to be learned before the situation becomes worse. https://t.co/UDHCSR4RIK
New rules on e-scooters recently came into force in Belgium:
-Riders must be 16+
-Ban on riding on pavements
-one person allowed
-Speed limit 20 km/h (8km/h in parts of Brussels)
- Escooters must be parked in designated areas

French Sénat rejects the compulsory wearing of helmets for cyclists and e-scooter users over 12. The proposed punishment of a €135 fine could also discourage cycling and e-scooter use. They proposed increased education of the benefits of wearing a helmet.
